Changes – Elizabeth Jeffery
A quiet town in the sticks is being ravaged by animal attacks. The newly graduated, Hanna doesn’t know this when she moves there, but it doesn’t take long for her to find out.
Hanna’s life has always been complicated but when she meets a charming police officer she doesn’t know just how much more complicated her life is about to become.
All she knows is that something is telling her he’s not being entirely truthful with her.
Inserting herself into the investigation, Hanna must navigate truth from fiction in order to prevent from getting killed, or worse heartbroken
Extract from Changes
“Frustrated, Hanna stood and stomped out of the cave. There was no point in trying to hide her tracks. They would be able to smell her scent and know that she’d been there. With the same delicate steps that she’d approached with, she took the long way, and rounded the bush and away from the den.
A sound had her pinned to the spot instantly, the blood in her veins froze. A growl. It was low and quiet, but unmistakeable. Turning in terror, Hanna came face to face with a wolf. Run, the voices inside her whispered. She couldn’t move. Her muscles locked up tight. It wasn’t the grey wolf from the other day. This wolf was light brown in colour, and had almost black eyes. It had come round from behind the rock formation and found her on its territory. A trespasser. Both prey and a threat. From the way its lips had curled back showing yellowing teeth, it was clear the wolf was unhappy finding her there. It was stalking towards her, head low. Still, Hanna could not move. Did not want to move. Only when the wolf, with its wide stride, had crossed most of the distance did her limbs finally want to work. She ran. Walking across the forest floor, with a still-healing ankle, had been challenging enough. Running it, with a wolf on her tail, was damn near impossible.
The wolf snapped at Hanna’s heels, taunting her. Risking a glance behind her shoulder Hanna could see that she hadn’t gained any distance. Her ankle roared in pain. Her run turned to a limping jog. Seeing that she was struggling, the wolf decided now was the opportune moment to pounce. Heavy thick paws hit her back, as hard as if someone had thrown rocks at her. Hanna fell with the impact, winded. The wolf was now on top of her, and with the cool calm clarity that only comes moments before death, she knew she was going to die here. Hanna screamed. Seconds from now she would become the wolf’s next meal. She braced herself for the onslaught of flesh-ripping agony.“
